I presently work in a private energy firm, with a decent pay of between 150 to 200k. However, the prospect for growth is very small. I mean, I may be on this pay for 4 to 5 years even with a good performance. I have gained admission into a highly rated German university to study Power engineering. I wont be paying tuition. I think studying this course will open a lot of career opportunities for me, ranging from positions in the likes of Siemens; General Electric; Total and Shell (which are now operating a renewable energy division) However, the dilemma for me now is that I do not want to leave this job for the uncertain. In the Nigeria of today, many would kill to have this job. So, I have been thinking, are there professional courses or programmes I can do part-time while working that will make me worthy of taking up a position in this coveted coys? Or, is there a masters programme (power-related or not) in a Nigerian university that is highly regarded that can land me this same position as I would, going for the Msc programme I have secured in Germany? I have got a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering.

Mods, a lot of input would make me better informed. Please, I would appreciate a spot on the front page. Thank you.
